Emphasis : Principles of design
- 2. emphAsis For a form or space to be expressed as being important or significant to an composition, it must be made uniquely visible. i.e. emphasized.
- 3. Visual emphasis can be achieved through • Contrast • Isolation • Placement • Absence of a focal point • Repetition
- 4. isolation
- 6. contrast
- 8. Placement
- 10. Absence of focal point
- 12. Repetition
- 14. Emphasis in architecture can be achieved through • exceptional size • a unique shape • a strategic location
- 15. exceptional size
- 16. Unique shape
- 19. Balance is a simple visual concept that relates to our experience of physical balance.
- 20. Types of balance Axial symmetrical balance. Biaxial symmetrical balance Radial balance Asymmetrical balance
- 21. Axial symmetrical balance Arranging visually equal elements on both sides of a single axis
- 23. Biaxial symmetrical balance Arranging visually equal elements in each of the four quadrants created by a pair of crossed axes
- 25. Radial balance Arranging visually equal elements at an equal distance from a center point and spaced at an equal distance apart from one another
- 27. Asymmetrical balance Arranging visually un equal elements around a point such that their visual weight of each element multiplied times their distance from the point of balance all equal one another
- 33. RHYTHM IN DESIGN • Rhythm is the repetition or alternation of elements, often with defined intervals between them. Rhythm can create a sense of movement, and can establish pattern and texture.
- 34. KINDS OF RHYTHM
- 35. Regular A regular rhythm occurs when the intervals between the elements,and often the elements themselves, are similar in size or length
- 36. Flowing A flowing rhythm gives a sense of movement, and is often more organic in nature
- 37. Progressive A progressive rhythm shows a sequence of forms through a progression of steps
- 39. REPETITION OF DIFFERENCES IN THIS RHYTHMICAL SERIES, THE ASCENDING AND DESCENDING PROGRESSIONS ARE BUILT UP FROM SMALL TO LARGE AND TO SMALL AGAIN.
- 40. REPETITION OF LINES VARIATIONS OF LINEAR LENGTHS OF CURVATURES.
- 41. REPETITION OF DIMENSIONS SUCH AS THE DIMENSIONS BETWEEN SUPPORTS AND BAY SPACING.
- 42. REPETITION OF SHAPES REPETITION OF CONSTRUCTIVE ELEMENTS.
- 43. REPETITION REPETITION is the use of similar or connected pictorial elements. For example, similar shapes, colors or lines that are used more than once
- 44. regular or irregular and even or uneven. in the form of RADIATION where the repeated elements spread out from a central point. in the form of GRADATION where the repeated elements slowly become smaller or larger. REPETITION CAN BE
- 48. IN THE FORM OF RADIATION
- 49. REPITION THROUGH GRADIATION REPITION THROUGH GRADIATION REPITION THROUGH GRADIATION REPETITION TROUGH GRADIATION
